Dixon is Top Tackler on 132 - that's averaging 44 tackles a game!

Jack Murphy has made 14 tackles and missed 5.

Regardless, I think MM's point is a good one. It's the mistakes that are costing us at the moment.

What those stats tell is that to have had to make 44 tackles a game, we're spending too much time defending, and not enough with the ball. The 37 errors and 38 penalties mean we're coughing possession up cheaply. More time defending means more tackles made, which means we'll be fatigued faster than the opposition, and hence the landslide scores.

It's only to be expected really at this stage, and will improve. The encouraging thing is that in making all those tackles, it shows the effort is being put in.

Both Warrington (+3) and Leeds (+12) have actually made more errors than Salford, It's the missed tackles, lack of forward momentum and guile with the ball that is hindering us.

Dixion doing well at the moment lets hope it continues
